Pilot Pavel Popovich was on a flight from Washington to Moscow in 1978. The plane was flying at the height of about 10,000 meters, when he noticed a triangular luminescent object flying on the same trajectory with his aircraft. The speed of the triangle was higher than that of the plane – more than 1,700 km/h, whereas the jetliner was flying at 1,100 km/h.

Cosmonauts Gennady Strekalov and Gennady Manakov saw a bright spherical object appearing in the cloudless sky above Newfoundland in 1990. The sphere disappeared without a trace ten seconds later.

In 1991, Musa Manarov was observing the module with the new crew nearing the Mir Space Station, filming the process on video camera. He suddenly saw an antenna-like object separating from the module. He informed the cosmonauts inside the module that something had undocked from them. Nevertheless, it never became possible to identify the object, although it was filmed on camera.

It goes without saying that cosmonauts informed their governing bodies of all those and many other strange incidents. All of the stories were most likely documented and subsequently classified.

Cosmonauts may often witness other inexplicable events happening in space, Vladimir Kovalenok said. A tape recorder switched on by itself and started playing the crew’s favorite film on the orbit once, Kovalenok said.

Psychologists often warn cosmonauts prior to their space missions that they may experience a phenomenon known as the altered state of consciousness. A Russian cosmonaut said in 1994 that he and his partner had numerous visions when they were working on board the Mir station for six months. It seemed to them that they were turning into weird creatures – animals and even humanoids of extraterrestrial origin.

Or as Mrs. Ross said to Frank Costanza: “Something’s missing all right.”

...Consciousness, normal or altered, becomes perception, which becomes reality for the individual. Those officials in politburo, communist or, dare I say, US government, that wish to crush the individual, denounce this as lunacy. Go back to bed America, yer government will program yer lives for you. as long as we stay apathetic, docile, bovine masses, we may rise to become the proletariat...

While Savinykh was trying to find the camera, the object exploded in front of Kovalenok’s eyes . . .The dumbbell-like object disappeared before the other cosmonaut was ready to photograph it."

However, if it was a babe taking her top off at the beach, no problem. The photo would have been taken in perfect focus and posted on the Internet. All of these blurry videos and photos are all you will get from these UFO Bo and Peep wannabee's

Soviet cosmonauts conceal truth about UFOs

They are concealing that UFOs don't exist? Reverse conspiracy!

If you want to see a cool UFO, This is the coolest vid I have ever seen of one.

From Moldovan TV.
If you are impatient, it appears at about 1:20.

The newscasters then ask an expert what their correspondent witnessed and filmed. It's all in Russian, but you can hear the girl saying "What is that? What is that?"

Pretty interesting. It would be nice to know why we keep seeing the triangle onyx looking ufo’s near the ground, and the crazy saucer shaped ufo’s with a slat in upper orbit.

Damn near all the Nasa missions have those 2 mile long suckers buzzing around. They get particularly excited when you drop a big mile long cable in their habitat. And then they have the rod looking things zipping all over the place.

It’s like a big party, and we’re the only one’s that didn’t get an invitation.

[Windflier]

There’s more happening in our skies than we generally understand. This is certain, even if only 1% of the reports from pilots and astronauts is true.

Interesting film clip, btw.

Which STS flight was it where you can hear the ground controller asking the astronauts “Do you still have the flying saucer in view?”

“He said that he had witnessed something inexplicable during his work on board the Salyut orbital station.”

If it’s inexplicable then it is clearly a visitor from another planet.
